Answer:

Explanation:

1. Cut six desired measures of string to properly wrap and tied around each end of the three sticks

2. Once fastened, bring two of the sticks together making one the bottom (base) and the other a side (angle).

3.Cut a tiny piece of rope to interlock with the rope you already have tied on the ends.

4.Tie the ends together with the new cut of string and make your desired angle as you tighten it.

5. Mirror Step 4 for the other end of the bottom stick (base), while most importantly mirroring the desired angle of step 4.

This should give you a proper equilateral triangle made out of sticks and string or anything of these two materials.
